Windy Hill Parkway near Reed Street
7:30 AM on Sunday morning on way to dog show. West bound on Windy Hill next to Fox Creek Golf Course. Very light Traffic. Cop hiding with radar gun. I was one of several cars doing 57 in 45 zone and was only car pulled over. Received ticket for 62 and verbally hostile attitude from cop practicing "how to talk to perps" despite complete cooperation from me. Cop scared the heck out of me. His word against mine. I was worried for safety of myself and my dogs. Other people on way to dog show all caught in identical place, same day and time. Residents from Smyrna say this place is famous for trap in this location and source of revenue for Smyrna.
Concord Road near Deerwood Parkway
This two-lane section of Concord Road is a major artery for traffic into and out of Smyrna. It is 35mph because of all the homes along Concord, but the steady traffic makes it feel like it should be faster, so it’s easy to get going too fast.
Concord Road near South Cobb Drive
Police wait half-hidden at Dunkin’ Donuts to trap east-bound motorists. Area has developed into a commercial zone but speed limit remains at the residential level of 35mph, whereas east of S. Cobb Drive, it’s 45mph, so many people assume it’s 45 all the way through there. They will also nail you for improper lane changes (meaning, without turn signal) and improper turns (like making a right turn into the inside lane).
